Reverse description A stylised horse progressing to the left, rendered in the disjointed, abstracted manner typical of British Celtic coinage. Above the horse, a prominent solar or floral motif — a ringed pellet or wheel-like sun symbol with radiating petals — occupies the upper field. Flanking the horse's body are additional ringed pellet devices, consistent with the 'cogwheel' decorative vocabulary of the series. Below the horse, a comet or celestial symbol is present, rendered as a ringed pellet with radiating lines. The field is entirely uninscribed, and the design elements are distributed across the flan in the characteristic dispersed arrangement of Atrebatic quarter staters.
